Teams WILL spend picks for a player that is a triple impact threat - Wins, Gate, Television...

Graham going to a team like Miami would be huge for them- College Hometown Hero Returns to Resurrect Storied Franchise...

And we've got a good trade history with them as well; more recently, Ricky Williams, Reggie Bush...

Re: Free agents 2014

non-exclusive tag does not seem to produce the fear it once did.

look at the picks the rams got from washington or the cleveland trade with the colts.

Collective bargaining agreement and the rookie cap has changed every thing. i think thats why teams no longer use it as much

I think this would be the would be the first time a player like graham would get that tag since the new Collective bargaining agreement has been put in place.

'm all for keeping Humber, he is a solid cog in the machinery. A guy who is good on special teams and can start for a game or two and hold the fort.

Totally agree. He's a quality football player and he gave some spark and pop at MLB when he was afforded an opportunity...

Probably because he's faster than Lofton which even the Falcons knew and we somehow ignored...

I hope we are only "kicking the tires" with Delmas. Is he an upgrade over Harper or Jenkins? Not so sure he is but that past knee issue concerns me more than anything.
